In 2011 Frantisek became a member of Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA member #3123) and is currently practicing counselling as a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling. He is passionate about EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and OEI (Observed Experiential Integration), which he uses on daily basis on top of other therapeutic approaches.
